A doll head and doll wig combination in which the head has a pate. The doll wig includes a thin cap that securely fits to the doll's head. The thin cap includes a substantially translucent polymer material which conforms to the shape of the head of the doll. A plurality of hairs extend from the cap. The spaced relationship of the plurality of hair filaments may show thinning, a balding pattern or thick hair. An adorned covering for the pate provides a natural skin tone which is seen through the translucent polymer material. The cap may also have a netting portion with an adjustment mechanism to fit a variety of doll head sizes.
